Looking for a couples retreat near London's best landmarks? This Bloomsbury pad fits the bill. You've got The Brunswick Centre next door, The British Museum a ten-minute stroll away, and shops and cafes on your doorstep. For adventures further afield, Russell Square Station is right around the corner. It's not the biggest apartment, but it works well for solo travellers and couples. The character features are a nice bonus – there's even a historic blue plaque on the front of the building – and though it's compact, the living area is a cosy spot to unwind after a busy day exploring.

Local guide
About Bloomsbury
Bloomsbury has got it all. Steeped in literary history (this is where Virginia Woolf and her pals used to live), filled with beautiful townhouses and some of the most delightful garden squares in London. It has some great pubs, and is home to one of London's most-loved street of independent shops and restaurants, the utterly charming Lamb's Conduit Street. The British Museum is on your doorstep and Oxford Circus is a ten minute walk away. Need we say more?

Visit The Charles Dickens Museum
Step in to the home of one of the most famous authors in the world. Set up as he left it, this place will give you an insight in to the life and mind of this incredible writer.
Catch a Film at The Curzon
Just a short walk away you'll find the perfect spot for a quick meal and a movie. This is a small and very beautiful arthouse cinema, focused on independent films, with underground screens and bar.
Grab a pint or three at The Euston Tap
Located right outside Euston Station, this is literally a drinking hole. Or Mecca. A variety of 20 keg beers, 8 rotating cask ales and 150 types of bottle beers from around the globe.
Visit the British Library
Read the Magna Carta or Beethoven's notes directly from the originals. This beautifully designed library stores some of the most important documents in British history.
Chill out on Russell Square
This small park sits in the middle of all the action, so is a great place to sit and people watch. You may even be lucky to catch the local Hari Krishnas in action.
Experience the Music and History at The Water Rats
Attractive bar with live music venue at the back, serving delicious food all day. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere make it a must-visit for music lovers.
Discover yourself at the Wellcome Collection
Known as the free destination for the incurably curious, this museum has a reputation in London. Besides questioning what it is to be human they also have the hip café and the glorious library.
Enjoy a Gourmet Brunch at Half Cup
Half Cup is an independent cafe in London offering gourmet coffees, breakfasts, and light meals. With a varied menu, fast service, and delicious food, it's the perfect spot for a memorable brunch experience.
Head for authentic Italian at Ciao Bella
Made to make you feel at home rather than to impress. This is a genuine Italian restaurant. Enjoy delicious simplicity accompanied by the ballads played by the in-house pianist.
Explore the Foundling Museum
Discover the touching history of the first British home for abandoned children. Immerse yourself in the beautifully presented story, accompanied by a remarkable art collection and Handel memorabilia.
Go Bowling at All Star Lanes
Part bowling alley, part Americana throwback, All Star Bowling is ranked one of the best bowling alleys in London. With only 4 lanes and tempting burgers and cocktails, it's a great time.
Try fresh Middle-eastern food at Honey & Co.
This hugely popular Israeli café and deli is just round the corner from the home. Finding a spare table is rare so come ready for a bit of a wait.
